But, after great misfortunes, it withdrew within itself." Gradually, De Gaulle led up to his message: a nation's greatness does not depend on colonialism. "It is quite natural to feel a nostalgia for what was the empire, just as one can miss the mellowness of oil lamps, the splendor of sailing ships, the charm of the carriage era. But what of it?
